Cardinals give up little for Jamar Taylor; CB redoing deal

The Arizona Cardinals have not yet announced it officially, but they reportedly are making a trade with the Cleveland Browns to acquire cornerback Jamar Taylor. Taylor has started for the Browns for the past two seasons.

Arizona will give up relatively little in the deal. According to Mike Jurecki, the will give up a sixth-round pick in 2020.

This almost the same sort of compensation the Cardinals gave up two years ago when they acquired cornerback Marcus Cooper from the Kansas City Chiefs. They got Cooper in 2016 for their 2018 seventh-round selection.

Taylor has more than $8 million remaining on his contract over the final two seasons. However, the Cardinals will get him for less money than that. According to Kent Somers, Taylor is redoing his deal as part of the trade.
